Ingredients Original recipe yields 46 servings Ingredient Checklist 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon cream of tartar ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 ¾ cups white sugar, divided ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg, at room temperature ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ¾ cup apple butter 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Directions Instructions Checklist Step 1 Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined. Step 2 Mix together butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Add apple butter and mix until combined. Pour in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. Step 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Step 4 Mix together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a shallow bowl or pie pan. Drop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll into balls, coating well. Place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Step 5 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are just set, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
